TALMA. -..• Pants, OcT. .20.-sslt s was not until five o'clock yester day morning, that Telma began to be :convinced, by the extreme' prostration of all his facelties, and the film that spread itself before his eyes, that his dissolution was ap proaching. lie could no longer distinguish the persons who surrounded him. He had two notaries : called, in whose ptesenee ,he eonfirrned the dispositions - of his will, WWI had been made three weeks before. After this ex ertion, his remaining Strength scarcely sutured to mutter, in an almost extinguished:Yoke l the single word, Adieu!, which he addressed to one of the notaries. Four hours. after, at s thirty-five minutes after eleven o'clock, he breathed his last, apparently without any suffering. It is generally supposed that the malady which has proved fatal to him was an intestine! schisms. Mons:Dupuytren was desirous of perfornting an operation, which he was convinced would have saved Telma, had he had strength enough to undergo, it. 'This operation was to extract filet portion of the intestines which, according to this celebrated surgeon were twisted, and to replace them in their natural, state. The opening of the body will ' show if M. Dupuytren's conjecture was correct. But convinced as he was of the efficacy of the operation, he was deterred from resorting to it by the state of extreme weakness to which Telma was reduced, in consequence of the total cessation: of his digestWesfunctiOns for forty-font hours previous to his death. The singular fact of his continuing to live so long in such a state is attributed by the physicians to his' remarkably strong constitution. One of these gentlenien has asserted that, on opening of the body, the region of the • breast and lungs will be found in the most healthy mid en taOt state., One of the last times the Archbishop of Paris (who has repeatedly endeavoured to gain admittance to. Telma) presented himself at his house, and was refused by one of the patient's relations to be brought into his pre sence, he stud," You probably suppose that my intentions are very different from what they are in reality. My mo tives are noble and elevated. For a long time back I have been endeavoteing to promise from the Court of Rome, th a t t h e r itliculotis excommunication pronounced against actors should be taken off, and . the present circumstance may mo st powerfully conduee to the success of my endea vours. Telma dying in peace with the Church would fur me with a puissant argument. Moreover, I promise you not to say a single word about religion, until Telma shall himself mention the subject." It is said that the last time the Archbishop called, and met,: as before, with a refusal, he lost all patience, and vehemently apostrophized Tali:Mee nephew, a physician, in the following terms :- -- Unfortunate man! see what a responsibility you are draviing on your heed. Great as is my indignation, I can not here punish you for such unworthy conduct—my reli gion forbids me. But on the day of judgment, where all the souls of my flock shall appear in the presence of God, usisie shall pursue yours, and cull upon it to answer, for the loss of an immortal soul I" The young physician listened calmly to these terrible menaces, and firmly, but respect fully refused to introduce his (immure. The Arelibislibp did not again return. Madame Venhove, Tahoe's wife, also Wished to be admitted to his bedside, but he refused to see her. She did not insist, but said, "I am sorry not to be permitted to see him once more. Tell him, I entreat you, that I came to offer him to share my fortune With his children.". Madame Voahzove has upwards of forty thousand francs a-year, that. had been left her by Dr. Moreau (De la Sarthe) with whom she had li v ed. — It is precisely this fortune that prevented any reconcilia tiSin between her and Telma, and induced him to refuse seeing her in his last moments, " Air my wife is now Wealthy," said he, "it would no doubt be said that I became reetmeiled to her through motives of interest.— 'er fortune places an insurmountable barrier between us." One of the theatrical .journals of this naornin/ gives the f o llowing is eemint of Telmit's last moments !'alma pre. served all his intellectual faculties to the last nuarinot. He felt no waste pain, and only complained of having a e cloud before is eyes. Ie erfectly rcognised the friends a l round ills b h e, - 4 and se l ein p g Messrs. Jotty, Arnault, and Dovilliers, he stretched out his arms, wept, and embraced them. Ile said to his TiaPhrwr "'The physicians know nothing. of my disease. liecommeild them to open my body that it may be, useful tn feduw-ereatures ;" !a it t nd a moment after he. said, ." Let Mae be no Prieits I ask is, not to he buried .too c.oon.'! Same,time before, he ex :claimed, " What d o the y re q uire of me, to make sae ' abjure the art to which I owe all my glory, an art that I idolize ? to deny' the forty brightest years of my life, to separate toy' came from that of My comrades, and to ac knowledge t h si ssi to be infamous? Never 1" A few mo ments before his death he murmured in a faint voice, " Voltaire Voltaire as V6itaire!" Thus the greatest tragedian of this age ext"ired invoking the name of the greatest tragic genius of the .last age. . BURIAL OF Tes!.LMA . , Eighty thousand persona have to-day i tt sompulied the mor tal remaires of Telma to their last home. The p:ocetrion put itself in Motion at ten o'clock, descending La Rue de la 3otthefouckult, end proceeding along the Boulevards , Rue St. Lazar each , dee Trois 'Frerea, and Taitheist. The funeral car was su rrounded by R Artists and performers of 'French confedy,-baving Baron Taylor st their head, the Royal Commilitary of the Theatre Francisio,ndu c w ted ho was immediately followed by h ie two wee p ing children, co by the respectable M.

After these came the artists upils t - sf the Royal theatres, and of all the p la y houses in Paris; t a r ti of the Conservatory of Mursici of the Medical School, and an im townie i zrewd, which itiereased every moment, in the midst of whom wo eirserved divert. memb Institute Chamber of Deputies, of the PrelA Academy, of the and a great number of the most diking Mailed artists, men of science, literati, merchants, and barristers. ' After a walk of an hour and a quarter, the hearse, drawn by four horses; arrived at OW churchyard of Pere La Chaise , where 'a fresh crowd was in watiing, intermixed with ladiea. Tim eagerness for approaching the fuoeral car became then so intense, that snore than gravel; hor was requim to transport the body of the deceased to the gr where be rests. The French comedians wanted to undertake the perfortnance of this sacred duty but 'they gave up that honour to the pupils of that School of Elocu tion. Before separating for ever, M. Lafon, with the most lively emotion, pronounced the following oration : .

Arnault, the author of Marius, delivered afterwards an appropriate speech, as well as M. Jouy, the author of Scylla, in his academical dress. The ashes of '!'alma were then deposited in the cemetery, not far from the graves of Moliere and La Fontaine, near that of (leneral Foy, who was the friend of his person and the admirer of his talent. COMMITTEE OF GREEK BONDHOLDERS, TO THE EDITOR. Sin.--4laving perused with attention, in your journal, the report lak before the Greek bondholders, at their meeting of yesterday s which 1 did not perfectly under stand at the time it was read, I feel myself called upon to state that the information it contains is not so satisfactory us I had a right to expect from the materials furnished to the committee. • I have been most anxious that the fullest explanations upon every point connected with the appropriation of the two loans suould be given to the bondholders ; but the present report, does not appear to me to throw a greater light upon the subject than had already been afforded by the article published in the last number of the Weetntin ster Review, headed " Greek 'Committee," pf which Mr. Bowring was the author. In the report made yesterday, I think I can discover the workings of the same hand. Many facts, which it would have been desirable for the bondholders to have been made acquainted with, have been omitted, whilst others have been stated without the explanation which, in justice to• myself, ought to have accompanied them. Ai one example of the manner in which the committee have thought it right to communicate a fact without the explanation, from which alone the bondholders could form any accurate judgment on the, subject, , I will select the following paragraph. After alluding to the purchase of '185,000/. and 33,000 bonds of the second loan, for the purpose of sustaining the credit of the Greek Government, the report proceeds :---" Your com mittee have strenuously urged on the deputies the necessity of haying these bonds deposited in the Hank of Eng land, hut have not been able to obtain the accomplishment of their recommendation. Again and again they have re pretented the , impropriety of allowing so large, a sum in Greek hOnds to be in the possession of individuals, and they can conceive no sufficient or satisfactory motive for objecting to their being deposited in a place of security, where they would be beyond the reach of any improper eontroul." Now, I think that in justice to myself, as well as in justice to the bondholders, it should have been explicitly stated by whom this:strenuous recommendation of the corn- Mime had been opposed. 'On the 15th ult. I addressed a letter to Messrs. Ricardo, of which the following is a copy ; " sackvilh , street, Sept. 15, 1826. " Gontlemene--ileferring to my letter of yesterday, to which await your reply, 1 beg to state, that I consider it adVisable that the honds'of the second loan, purchased by you and Messrs. Ralli, no account of the Greek Government, should be deposited in the Bank of England. I have already written to Messrs. Ralli, brothers, to this effect, and I shall be obliged by your naming an early day for making the deposit of those in your hands, in the panics of one or both " of your ike firms, of Mr. Spaniolacki, lam , .. ono myse...? (Sloed) " AND. LIMIOTTIS." Messrs: Ricardo returded the following reply tt Since writing the above, we have received your letter of the 15th, in reply to whisk WO hove simply, to state, that so soon us Nome person can be found, meriting the approval and enjoying the couddence of all concerned, who will pliort.glre that rortion of the management of the expedition which has deFolyed npon us, and release us fram any engagement still unperformed, we 01;all be happy to render up our accounts, pay over the balance still in baud, 'and deposit the bonds l a elonging to the Greek Government whereser it may be deemed expedient by those who have autho vatent to part with rity to require it; but at present we cannot them till the undertaking is completed, and we know what are our liabilities. o In the mean time, you may see them whenever you please, and we will pledge ourselves that no use shall be muds of them, except with the consent of those who represent the Greek Govern ment. We are, Sir, your obedient servants, (Signed) • • ' 4 3, and S. RICARDO." Wartiford-must, fiept. Id. " To A. Luriottis, Esq." Considering this reply e vasive and unsatisfactory, I wrote to them on the 21st, to the following effect i‘ I pave not said that you have an interest apart from my country, of that you are benefitting. by her misfortunes, but there are many who en,t,?rtaiu that opinion, and it would gratify me Au s tell to have the means F;iy power of proving that this impression was Without foundation in fact. Mostassuredly, I have seen nothing in your conduct from the first to dm last of what you aptly call the ill-fated loan, which would warrant me in asserting that you would abandon one iota of your own Interest for the good of my cdontry. Your refusal to deposit the bonds is op a dditional proof of your disiuterestislaess for 0411 cause of Pr eecea guarded manner in which you avow your readiness to m ak e the veaposi and so soon as sonic pereon shall be found meriting rap.o)lat f e tiv: laying the c onfidence of all concerned," t a r , ou p r hands. ward merely as a plausible excuse for retanupgrei. y de You will beat testify the sincerity of your floc ovation, er ave ing them at once in the Bank of England t ime 1 . 4 1 0 y` liability, proposed; and if you have any claim, or shall into on account of the Greek Government, you wilt Pe enabl ed cure yourselves against loss, inasmuch as they cannot he w i thdraws withuut your coneurrence.'! The linavv,ee of Messrs Ricardo to this communioriattiohlei was, that I was no finger an ackn owled g ed agent _ Greek Government, and that they should therefore de- Cline contirming a correspondence with roe,.

I had repeatedly stated to the Committee my confident opinion that Mr. COntastavlos„ who had already - been sent, to America for the same p u rp ose, would succeed in the object of his mission : and. in my letter to the Committee of the 22d of September I wrote as follows " Before I conclude, I beg leave to offer a few words on the con versation which took place on Wednesday, with regard to the sums - I was requested to advance for the expence of Captain Al len's mission. On a former, day when the importance and neces sity of hastening the preparation of the steam vessels was discuss ed, I offered to give bills on Leghorn to the extent of 1,000/. for that specific object, being authorized by my friends there, who are sensible how materially they would promote the cause of Greece, to advance even a larger sum for this object. But I have no power to divert the generosity of my relations and friends in Italy to a different purpose, and sb far from having any funds in my posees sion belonging to the Greek Government, my claims upon it, on the contrary, amount, as I have verbally explained to the Com mittee, to more than 3,0001., as I will prove on a future day. " With respect to the 4,000/.. which I placed at the disposal of Mr. Eynard for account of my Government in 111ay. last, and to which Mr. Bowring particularly alluded at the last meeting, the enclosed extracts of laters from . that distinguished friend of Greece will, 1 presunw, be perfectly satisfactory. " It remains for merbitly to state my retuliness as well as my anxiety to afford any further information to the committee in the laast likely to promote its valuable labours, and the interest of the bondholders, with which that of Greece is so intimately con- I nee .0(1' There are some few additional extracts, which I am de iirous of troubling you with, as a preliminary to the full and detailed statement which I pledge myself to lay before the public, but I fear I have already extended this , beyond the space you can allow me in your paper. I therefore postpone to another day the observations I could have wished to have added to this letter.---I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, 29, Saeltville-street, Get. 24. ------ ___ PRICES OF STOCKS Till Bank Stock 202 .' 3 pet Cent. 1ced..........

Evening ....... 59 minutes after 9. '~l~e gik fin, LONDON, ?DATIMDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 25, NW We received last night the Paris Papers of Sunda and the ;toile dated Monday morning. The latter announces the important news of the Russian Ulti matum having been accepted by the Porte, on the Gth inst., at Akermanu. A Courier, who left Vienna on the 15th, in the evening, is said to have brought in telligence of this event to Paris ; and of the Russian Plenipotentiaries having, in consequence, set off on the 7th on their return to Odessa. The recent ac counts from Constantinople, and the confident tone in which the Etude for some days had spoken of the probability of this result of the negotiations, left little reason to doubt that the Divan had determined to aban don its resistance to the demands of Russia, and by this proceeding to get rid of the immediate chance of being over-run by aux army of Cossacks. In the acceptance of these conditions, the Porte assents merely to the preliminary basis 04 which subsequent negotiations and arrangements are to be carried on ; and it is so obviously the interest of Turkey to gain time for the completion . of those reforms; which the Sultan has entered upon, that the final settlement of all questions between the two countries will, doubtless, be procras ,inated, a may he fully tinated, until, on the one hand , Russi prepared to proe te d i ll b ar ambitious views, (which the war on the Persian frontier may possibly now de lay), or Turkey on the other, may by the nevi orga. eization of her army, and the regeneration of her in stitutions, be enabled to re-assert some of those points of diseu,sion winch longhave li si i : bour. ex isted The c ae between herself and her northern neighbour. of the present conditions imposed by Russia, will theretbre postpone, but will not, in our opinion, pre vent the ultimate collision of these two Powers. The SULTAN during these conferences , which in, solved the oat questions of war or peace s seems to •ou►slo rortir If.S. have proceeded steadily in his measures of reform and improvement. The mode which he adopts to carry his., purposes, and the style of his, proclamations an nouncing them, are alike extraordinary to our more correct and improved tastes ; but we presume that they are both suited to the habits, m anners, and cha racter of the Turkish people. The success which has hitherto attended his measures seems to be a proof that he has pursued a right course for the enforcement of his regulations; and if this course has been stained with some executions and drownings, it appears on the whole to be attended, subsequently to the destruction of the Janissaries, with less effusion of human blood than usually takes place in revolutions in the capitals of Empires. By a Proclamation dated the 29th September, the SULTAN, after describing the general abuses which had existed from the proceedings of the Janissaries and the Commissaries of Police, and expatiating on the ne cessity of obedience among all classes, appoints a Chief of Police, charged with the duty of preventing forestalling, of repressing vagrancy, and compelling the Rajahs to return within the limits of their condition. His Highness declares that the glory of religion and the maintenance of the public peace are the objects to which his beneficent views are solely directed and he finishes by an admonition to all good MdS.sulmen to abstain from all bad actions, particularly from inter meddling with the affairs of the Sublime Porte, and to offer those prayers for his Highness which he is entitled to from his faithful people. In other respects the French papers are barren of political interest, and are chiefly filled with accounts of the funeral of TALMA, and the honours paid to his talents at his grave by poets and actors, although the rites of Christian burial were denied by the unchristian regulations of the Rontish Church, from the circum stances of his being a Protestant and an actor. We have collected some of these particulars under the name of TALMA in another column. (From the Etoile of Monday.) CoNSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 25.—A1l the late measures adopted by the Porte, especially the financial ones, indi cate the acceptance of the Ru ssian Ultimatum, although no formal answer by the. Divan is yet known. It is cer tain that if not already accepted that it will be. The English Ambassador, Mr. Stratford Canning, pre sented, a few days ago, another note, to prevail on the Porte to enter into negociations with respect to Greece.. News from the Archipelago mention two combats, in one of which the Turkish fleet, near Foche, and in the other, a division of the Egyptian fleet, at Candle, had been very roughly handled. SEPT. 26.—Although the Porte has given no official answer with respect to the ultimatum, and though the Reis Effendi has given nothing, for some days past, but evasive verbal declarations to M. Minziacky, no doubt is entertained of the acceptance of tlse Russian demands; and it Is generally believed that a Tartar courier, who left this on the 4 211 d for Akermann ' was the bearer of instructions, aud full powers to the Commissioners, to that effect. These conjectures are founded upon the existing state of the capital and the Empire. PARIS, Ocr. 22.—A Courier, who left Vienna on the 15th, in the evening, this day brings the news of the ulti matum having been accepted on the 6th, at Akermttnn. The Russian Plenipotentiaries set out on the 7th, to go to Odessa. The Journals. des Debats of this day says, , that nothing will probably be known in Paris for four or five days. This is sporting with misfortune. The Coastitu tionnel, which is equally well informed, states, that Tiflis has been taken by the Persians, and that the Russians have been beaten. How does it happen, that these Jour nals do not lose all credit by thus unceasingly giving such conjectural news? A German Journal narrates, that intelligence reached Berlin on the 10th, by express, that General Yermalofi had gained a complete victory over the Persians, who had left 8,000 men on the field of battle. We have Berlin Journals to the 14th, but they say nothing of these news. Lord BERESFORD, to whom Portugal owes such lasting obligation for his services in the organization of her Army, and for the honours to which he led it, during the Peninsular war, proceeds immediately to -Lisbon. It is understood that the presence of Lord BERESFORD has been for some time most anxiously desired by the Princess Regent, and a solicitation to his Lordship of so urgent a nature was brought from her Royal Highness by an officer who came home in the Sandwich Packet, that he could no 'longer resist it. His Lordship will, it is said, on his arrival, assume the command of the Portuguese army, and it is expected that by his regulations, and the influence which his name and repu tation carries with it, he will speedily place it again upon a respectable footing, and purge it .of all those officers who are known to be the creatures 61 the faction which is opposed to the establishment of the new Constitution. It is supposed that many other British Officers will also immediately join the Porte- geese army. Other reports, however, attribute the o bject of Lord BERESFORD'S mission to the arrangement of " some affairs which yet remain to be adjusted between Brazil and Portugal, and also to the - pe ndin g q uarrel between Buenos Ayres and Brazil.

In a nother column will be found a Proclamation by G ene ral Sir GEORGE Dow, G.C.8., Lieut.- issued Governor of Gibraltar, and administering the affairs of that Colony during the absence of the Governor, the Earl of CHATHAM, warning all His Majesty's sub-, with ht hisor to the subjects of Foreign States ject sfmro completing tlj erendering outfit a o n f y an s y ss i s shtiapns eoe r, ve s s els belonging Majesty, about to proceed to the coast of Africa on in in a fi m tt it l y ng w o i the Slave Trade. This caution has been rendered necessary, in consequence of it having been suspected acce' that foreign vessels have entered the Bay of Gibraltar and completed there, for voyages undertaken for the express purpose of carrying on this infamous traffic• The Allgemeine Zeitung, of the 18th inst., has been received this forenoon. The intelligence which it contains from Constantinople has been anticipated by the French Papers ; and t he account which it gives of the action off Mitylene and Foches, between part of the Turkish and Greek naval forces, is only another version of that which has previously reached us front various quarters. There is nothing else in it worth mentioning. Another act of that melancholy drama—the Down. fall of Greece, or what may be as justly styled the farce of the " Forty Thieves," was represented ou Monday at the City of London Tavern, and fully re ported in our Paper of yesterday. It was, indeed, o exhibition in which men of honour might blush to participate, when even rogues began to shrink from the damning infamy of their own doings. But e the plot thickens in proportion as the characters deeper' in guilt, and the public wonder at such barefaced wicked ness, is only restrained by the contempt and indigna tion generated by the disclosures of so much fraud, ,hypocrisy, and meanness, by men who affect to hold justice sacred, but whose conduct ha s been as abumi nble as their hearts are selfish and base. Our readers, who feel an interest in the fate of Greece—and all , ho nourable minds must feel interested in the forlorn for tunes of a brave, but calum niated people, struggling for independence—minds possessed of the least spark of patriotic fervour, must have wept with virtuous in" dignation, to contemplate that there is no law to Pu' nish these swindlers of public confidence, at lion% and the sworn foes of Greece, both at home and abroad...—. they must indeed lament, that the lash of public horn cannot reach such men—and burn with anguis 10 think that the destiny of a once powerful people, should have been entrusted to the keeping of such self constituted guardians, whose only ambition appeared to be to share the obloquy of a betrayal of trust, and to divide the spoil of dishonour --for the whole affair seems a tissue of plunder, by men alive to no principle of ionesty— "Who, dead to glory, only burn for gold." But it .appears that tho u g h much rascality has heel brought to light, that m uch more remains behind. The unwilling disclosure at each meeting only adds to no the iniquity of past misdeeds , while it p oints to time er mous misconduct which seeks to hide its baselle s „ 4 by subterfuge, as despicable as the rapacity-was HI). cious.
